Roles: Quantitative Researcher - Portfolio Optimization · Quantitative Researcher - Portfolio Optimization - Jersey City, NJ · Quantitative Researcher - Portfolio Optimization - Remote

Requirements mention: portfolio optimization frameworks · MOSEK · transaction cost modeling · execution algorithms · live trading environment

Inference: one role, posted in three location variants in October 2025, points to work on multi-period optimization and intraday execution that accounts for transaction costs and slippage.

Roles: C++ Market Data Feeds Developer · C++ Market Data Feeds Developer - Jersey City, NJ · Execution Developer · Execution Developer - Jersey City, NJ

Requirements mention: real-time data feed handlers · TCP/IP · Multicast · low latency global trade execution platform · network and systems programming

Inference: two roles, each posted in Radnor and Jersey City, with the Radnor versions reposted on 2026-10-12, point to continued work on exchange feed handlers and the execution platform.

Quote, order and financial data tools and strategy implementation platform strong signal

Today: Not confirmed by the site. Postings describe 'Tools to process, store and analyze quote, order and financial data'.

Roles: Implementation Developer · Implementation Developer - Jersey City, NJ · Developer Internship · Senior C++ Developer · Senior C++ Developer - Jersey City, NJ · Senior C++ Developer - Remote

Requirements mention: C++ · Linux · shell scripts · relational databases · trading strategy implementation and performance analysis platform · Sybase · SQL Server · Oracle

Inference: two developer roles across location variants plus an internship, with the Radnor Implementation Developer and Developer Internship opened October 2026, point to sustained work on data tooling and the strategy implementation platform.

Automated statistical trading models and backtesting simulation moderate signal

Today: Not confirmed by the site. Postings describe work 'from research ideas through quantitative production trading models'.

Roles: Quantitative Research Analyst · Quantitative Research Analyst - Jersey City, NJ · Quantitative Research Analyst - Remote · Quantitative Research Analyst Internship · Quantitative Research Developer · Quantitative Research Developer - Jersey City, NJ · Quantitative Research Developer - Remote

Requirements mention: automated statistical trading models · simulation frameworks · tick data · market microstructure · regression · time series analysis

Inference: two research roles posted in three variants each, plus an internship opened October 2026, point to an ongoing pipeline for building and backtesting statistical trading models.

Systematic futures and equities trading model research moderate signal

Today: Not confirmed by the site. Postings describe systematic trading strategies in the futures and global equity markets.

Roles: Senior Quantitative Researcher Futures · Senior Quantitative Researcher Futures - Jersey City, NJ · Senior Quantitative Researcher Futures - Remote · Senior Quantitative Researcher Equities · Senior Quantitative Researcher Equities - Jersey City, NJ · Senior Quantitative Researcher Equities - Remote

Requirements mention: statistical modeling techniques · systematic trading models · economic intuition · orthogonal factors · risk adjusted returns · quantitative hedge fund or proprietary trading experience

Inference: two senior researcher roles, each posted in three variants and open since 2019 to 2023, read as a continuing hiring need rather than a new build.

Technical recruiting for C++ and software developers moderate signal

Today: Not confirmed by the site. Posting describes 'Recruiting C++ software developers to work in a fast paced and high performance computational environment'.

Roles: Technical Recruiter · Contract Technical Sourcing Specialist

Requirements mention: recruiting C++ developers · recruiting software developers · Finance industry recruiting experience · low latency trading organizations

Inference: two recruiting roles opened on 2026-10-12, alongside new Radnor engineering postings, suggest the company is adding capacity for developer hiring.

Where the headcount is going

DepartmentOpen

Of 29 open postings, 16 are in Quantitative Research and 11 in Software Engineering (20 Radnor, PA; 9 Jersey City, NJ), but many are the same job posted in Radnor, Jersey City and Remote variants, roughly 15 distinct jobs, and several have stayed open since 2019 to 2023.

Who they need

Seniority: 9 senior, 3 mid, 2 intern; 15 postings do not state a seniority level.

Skills named most: C++, Python, Linux, shell scripts, Sybase, SQL Server, Oracle, statistical modeling techniques, economic intuition, Perl, relational databases, MOSEK

Locations: Location field: Radnor, PA (20) and Jersey City, NJ (9). The remote field is empty on all 29 postings. Six Radnor-coded titles include 'Remote', but no country is given in the postings.

How to use this

If you're applying: Check your C++, Linux and Python experience against the Radnor and Jersey City software and quant research postings. Many jobs appear in several location variants, so apply to the one that matches where you are. The remote field is empty, so confirm location before applying. Do not rely on scm.global for company background: it describes a different, Ukrainian holding group.

If you're selling or recruiting: Seven postings opened on 2026-10-12 and none closed in the last 30 days, which is the source of the accelerating flag. The new postings concentrate on Radnor C++ engineering (market data, execution, implementation) and two in-house recruiting roles. That points to active developer hiring with internal recruiting capacity being added. Verify the company's identity and size independently; the scm.global site and its 150,000 employee figure appear to belong to a different business.
